The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

Item as described quick delivery

The 2018 Honda Pilot's only engine is the 3.5L V6 (J35Y6), offered across five trim levels, and the specifications, torque values, and repair sequences here are what Honda published specifically for this model year rather than a generic Pilot reference.

Engines covered

  • 3.5L V6 — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sport utility

Trims covered

  • Elite
  • EX
  • EX-L
  • LX
  • Touring

Known issues on the 2018 Pilot. Seven recalls are on federal record for this model year. A hood latch striker can separate from the hood, letting it open while driving and obstruct the driver's view. Timing belt teeth may separate from the belt, causing an engine stall. Front seats assembled with improperly manufactured rivets can break loose from the floor in a crash. A manufacturing error in the connecting rod bearing can let it wear and seize, damaging the engine. The in-tank fuel pump may fail and stall the engine while driving. The front passenger seat weight sensor may crack and short circuit, triggering unintended air bag deployment. And the rear subframe may corrode at the suspension mounting points, leading to rear suspension component failure. Owners have filed 436 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. Correcting any of them starts with the factory diagnostic and repair procedure Honda specifies for that system.

From a hood latch or timing belt check to a rear subframe inspection or routine service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2018 Pilot.
